TRIPS suspending shuttle service

TRIPS Public Transportation will suspend its Fremont Shuttle Service effective April 6, as the service has experienced very low ridership due to events surrounding the coronavirus.

Those who are current riders of the shuttle are encouraged to utilize TRIPS on-demand service, which will continue to operate as usual during the hours of 5 a.m.-7 p.m., Monday-Friday, and 5 a.m.-noon on Saturdays. Rides must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance by calling 419-332-8091.

TRIPS on-demand service is offering rides at no cost for general public, in-county transportation, so drivers and riders may avoid the handling and passing of cash.

As a reminder, TRIPS rides are being limited to essential needs so as to assist with preventing and delaying the transmission of the coronavirus in Sandusky County. TRIPS will continue to provide rides for:

Health and safety needs

Necessary supplies and services

Work deemed as essential by order of the Director of the Ohio Department of Health

Care for others

TRIPS anticipates resuming the Fremont Shuttle Service once stay-at-home orders have been lifted by the Governor.
